I wonder if that is what happened in Mick's case (I'm sure he'll get 
back eventually).

Meanwhile, I made a setup guide in the fedora project wiki for digital 
tv: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DavidTimms/DVB

It needs a bit of work to expand out some specific app usage examples, 
if you have a fedoraproject account, and can see some errors or 
improvements, please go ahead and make them.
Although, if the info is especially device specific, or would over 
complicate the guide then it might be better to become a reference link 
into a separate file. A "things that can go wrong" page could be useful, 
if you can think of items that you have come across while getting 
Digital Tele going on your Fedora box.
